“As a Summer Associate, I had the satisfaction of knowing that my work
was meaningful. I presented my project along with recommendations to
the client directly, which is a unique opportunity that I know few interns elsewhere have the chance to do.”

level and touch different aspects of the company, which improved my visibility that I

“My greatest takeaway from the Charter Program was the strong foundation it
built for all my future roles at NPD. It provided an education on how NPD data sets are built, how best to utilize
them, and then how to put that data into the best possible context for clients. I still work off that same foundation today in
my current role, and am grateful for the skills I have at my disposal.”
